The Glaive could be one of Destiny’s most versatile weapons yet.

What is the Glaive in Destiny 2 Witch Queen?

The Glaive is a hybrid melee and ranged weapon that’s making its debut in the new expansion.

It’s able to be wielded as a melee weapon, akin to a lance, and is the first melee weapon in the Destiny franchise to be used entirely in first-person.

It’s also capable of firing its blade toward enemies, while also offering bonus effects depending on which one you have.

All Glaives in Destiny 2 Witch Queen so far

So far, we know of four Glaives, with three of them being class-specific exotics and one being a Legendary weapon.

The Enigma	Any	Legendary	Dealing ranged damage generates shield energy, can project a shield.
Edge of Concurrence	Hunter	Exotic	Tracking chain lightning

There’s another Glaive called Lubrae’s Ruin, but we’re yet to locate the weapon pattern for that just yet.

If we find any more over the course of the Witch Queen or Season of the Risen, we’ll update this page.

How to get the Glaive in Destiny 2’s Witch Queen expansion

Your first Glaive, The Enigma, will be earned through weapon crafting during the course of the campaign — you’ll be prompted to build it after the opening couple of missions.

As for the Exotic variants, you’ll need to finish The Investigation Board exotic quest which will be revealed during the campaign.
